horn. It not only curves backwards, but also (with a slight tendency 

 to twist) outwards. The specimen includes part of the frontal with the 

 cerebral cavity, but no part of the orbit. The bur is very salient and 

 pronounced as in C. Elaphus. The beam at the base is nearly level, 

 with a tendency to keel between the bur- and the brow-antler, and 

 deeply channelled. The beam above the brow-antler is nearly terete, 

 and there is a well channelled offset of the supra-basilar about 1*3 inch 

 above the bur. The dimensions are : Ant.-post. diam. of beam at bur, 

 1*5 in. Transverse ditto, l - 4in. Transverse diam. above bur, 15 in. 

 Ant. post, ditto, l - 25 in. Height to top of fork, 2 - 5 in. In the Museum 

 of the Jardin des Plantes there is an antler (No. 6,201) from the Yal 

 d'Arno, labelled C. Arvernensis, which is twisted exactly like Mr. 

 King's.
